Roof survey in Hampton: what you get
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We are often asked to look into gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and torn or sagging underlay, across chimney stacks, natural slate and lead flashings.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, frequently with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails often give out first and let slates slip. Homes in Hampton are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Your questions about roof surveys in Hampton
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Hampton?
Typically it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Across London there are restriction zones around Heathrow, London City and London Heliport, plus restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Hampton?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How do I book a survey in Hampton?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
How quickly will I get the report?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Roof surveys around Hampton
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Homes near green spaces such as Carlisle Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. For an older house near a landmark like All Saints' Hampton, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Strawberry Hill House lies about 2 miles north-east, so building around Hampton goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.
Hampton is about 2 miles south-west of Twickenham, in Greater London. Anywhere in Hampton, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Our Greater London coverage includes Hampton and the places around it. London is in our area too.
We survey roofs across TW12 and TW11 for roof surveys and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Station Road, High Street and Old Farm Road, all of which we cover. Hampton sits on or near the A3008. We also cover Hanworth (1 mile north-west), Hampton Hill (1 mile east), West Molesey (1 mile south), Fulwell (1 mile north-east) and East Molesey (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include London (13 miles north-east), City of Westminster (11 miles north-east), Marylebone (12 miles north-east), Kensington (9 miles north-east), St Pancras (13 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (15 miles north-east).

For a walk, there is Oak Avenue Local Nature Reserve and Richmond Hill.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a London area like Hampton, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
Booking a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
What to let us know when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move, leaving gaps along the courses.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack, as far as we can safely see them. We note any lean or loose pots.
What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- A full building survey of the property
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- The roof space
- Natural slate
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Lead flashings
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Clay and concrete tiles
Practical tips
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Hampton
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
